The FAL grows up

One of our gun shops in town has old FALs show up now and again for prohib consignment. Someone has an agreement to purchase whenever they show up and then sends them in to make them deactivated where he then sells them.

Makes me sad how stupid that is and that we are losing these beautiful rifles
 
As it is the FAL is a very good gun. Aside from rails I think it's fine as is. The SCAR is cool but it's just not the same. I have had time to shoot both in proper form (autos) and compare twice now and came to the same conclusion both times... The SCAR may be more modern but it hasn't got a lot on the FAL.

I'm kinda talking out my behind, having never fired either. Scar just reads so good on paper.

The .308 is a heavier bullet and has better BC.

yea x39 has nothing on a SBR 308. Even if you compared a 20" barreled x39 to a 10" barreled .308 you can still get a 180gr projectile going 2200 fps out of a 10"barrel in the 308 vs the 24-2600fps of a 123gr bullet out of the x39.


I wish we could own the FAL here, and I still am kicking myself for not buying a famae sg542 before may last year, as it is the closest thing we have.

Gun Jesus did a video on this, think it was a 6" barrel 308 though. All hear say to me, I shoot 308 out of 20" barrels.

*542 is still available, just damn expensive. I would love one myself, when I can afford.

Maybe someone should make a better deal.

I would save every one if I had a prohib license

Nothing against the guy converting them to inert steel; I'm just sad that they were placed on prohib in the first place preventing lawful and legal ownership.

Well, you know. They are only made for killing the largest amount of people in the shortest amount of time. And nobody would need a FN FAL to hunt a deer. Plus, now that we have eliminated THESE super-duper too-scary-for-anyone-to-own firearms, nobody will be able to get hold of one to misuse it in the future. -PET, probably

A co-worker is an american and his son moved to texas in august (he's 20 i think? 21 maybe) for school and so far, after growing up in BC he has a CC license and packs a 9mm with him and has bought an FN FAL, and I'm not sure what else. I just get to see/hear what his son is buying and sigh.
